I would not go any higher then what would go beyond the limits of what my body is able to take from the fall. I do not go any higher the 20 feet. 18 feet is plenty of height that will not spook the deer.
Be safe.
Don't believe your body can absorb an 18' fall, because it might not. My Brother in Law fell 18' and broke his back,Terrible accident. I was the one who found him, and was there when he was Life Flighted out. If you don't believe in a safety harness that experience would have convinced you.

they are lifesavers for sure. ive always used one. when i was younger (dumber)i got in the 40' territory if the tree would permit. i got so high one timethati only hadlike twoopenings to shoot b/c i was above quite a few treetops. and it was windy. i honestly dont think i could have shot accurately. and im not bragging b/c i realize now howstupid it was, me and a buddy werejust seein who had the biggest balls. mostly now though i just get where i have the best shooting lanes, but also high enough to have decent coverage.
and for anyone looking for a good comfortable safety system that is really SAFE, check out the hunters safety system. my father bought me and him one last year and its pretty nice. it gets in the way from time to time but it makes me feel alot better.
